His eye-lids closed naturally there was no longer any convulsive play of the muscles, and as an infant sinking into slumber, so quietly did Theodore Wilmer sleep the sleep of death. One month from that night of sorrow, the darkest one in the many gloomy seasons of Mrs.
Their eye-lids are constantly half closed, to keep out flies, which are here very numerous and troublesome. They have large bottle noses, thick lips, and wide mouth; and both men and women, young and old, wanted the two front teeth of the upper jaw. They have no beards, and their hair is short and curled like the negroes, their complexion being equally black with them.
It was now an appropriate emblem. The clergyman stepped into the room where the corpse was laid, and bent over the coffin to take a last farewell of his deceased parishioner. As he stooped the veil hung straight down from his forehead, so that, if her eye-lids had not been closed for ever, the dead maiden might have seen his face. Could Mr.
My father's recovery of robust health, or my own sudden acquisition of a princely fortune, could hardly have brought a deeper thrill of gladness and relief than that which came to me with the first flutter of the veined, dark eye-lids upon which my gaze was fastened.
She builds her Nest in a Wood-pecker's Hole, very often sixty or seventy Foot high. I did not kill any of them. Their Eyes were red, having a red Circle of Flesh for their Eye-lids; and were very good to eat. These are the first Fowls that appear to us in the Fall of the Leaf, coming then in great Flocks, as we suppose, from Canada, and the Lakes that lie behind us.

Ay, and many a bottle of stout poteen, when
And there, on the grass, sure enough, was a little naked baby girl just able to stand. Very quiet, she was, and she looked up at Andy with eyes of a fairy blue as if they'd been colored by that very same fairy that goes about with a brush coloring all the violets we ever see. "We-e-ell!" cried Andy, puckering up his lips and squinting up his eye-lids. "And who are you?"
When Cristobal said, "Let me see," he dropped his eye-lids; and what he saw then, no artist can paint. On this night, a beautiful child appeared before him, as like the picture of the Little Jesus as if it had stepped out of its frame on the church-wall. Even the crimson and blue tints of the old painting were faithfully preserved; and every fold of the soft drapery was the very same.
But all my pleasure was damped by the facts which were now continually before me. It was but one gloomy subject from morning to night. In the day-time I was uneasy. In the night I had little rest.
